Formatting of chat history - add forum format

[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: Ah.. thanks for the clarification and apologies for "crying wolf" in that case :
[DevTeam] [Kaidenn]: PAZZA! i miss you.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Lol, it's funny how it takes spam message reports to get me to come back
[DevTeam] [sylvanaar]: Check out the beta tester forum. Need alpha testers and feedback so I can come up with a maintenance plan.
[Developer] [Pazza]: loaded some new spam prevention modules... lets see if this stops the bastards.
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Thought I'd check in and say Howdy Doody from Australia
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Yeah the spam from shoes salesmen was becoming insane
[Guest] [Delakando]: What ever happened to the ability to track friend's location by wim? Other then just showing their general zone location.
Zeke pokes his head around the corner.
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Anybody home?
[Guest] [Theillur]: I would like to know if it is just me.

When viewing the chat history, you can choose between html, raw text and normal mode. What I would really love to see, is if a format for basic forum format could be added as well.

At least from my point of view, a chat history formated to forum code is much more useful than html code, as it's in forums I usually have to supply a copy of some conversation. Especially as I'm an officer in my guild, it happens from time to time that I need to copy/paste my conversations when dealing with guild-related matters etc, so this is something that would be very welcome.

I know there are some different forum formats, but the formatting doesn't need to cover much more than the basic and etc, which I believe is pretty much standard?


Keep up the good work Pazza, love WIM

Sounds doable. Most forums you BBC, Bulletin Board Code. I will add an option for it. Though it may not be able to support all of the formatting that HTML can support.

Cheers Pazza, good to hear 

[Pazza]

I added the formatting for BB Code. I just want to note that there isn't an official standard for this coding therefore, it may appear differently on other BB Software. I only tested it on this forum and it seems to be working perfectly.


Example:

Code:

[color=#ffa900][08/23/07][/color]

[color=#ffa900]00:23[/color] [color=#8f08c2][Malaka]: hey hey hey[/color]
[color=#ffa900]00:23[/color] [color=#ff14fb][Pantiless]: yoyo[/color]
[color=#ffa900]00:23[/color] [color=#8f08c2][Malaka]: sup johnny[/color]
[color=#ffa900]00:24[/color] [color=#8f08c2][Malaka]: grats on the 40 man!!!![/color]

Equates to:

[08/23/07]

00:23 [Malaka]: hey hey hey
00:23 [Pantiless]: yoyo
00:23 [Malaka]: sup johnny
00:24 [Malaka]: grats on the 40 man!!!!
